Having a new wife means he will learn the art of war at home. It's a divine endorsement of home education.
All of these touch on the basic necessities of life, and interestingly enough all these are things mentioned in Exodus 21:10. Shelter, Food, and Conjugal Rights. It means that a man should have his house established and in order before he goes off to war. He should have his home, his land, and his wife all bearing fruit. How can he be expected to fight and help establish peace in the land if his household does not have it?
